I was thinking about the case where you use a module, only to define a
class that you then instantiate like this:
use Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class;
our Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class $foo := new;
and I keep thinking that that's too redundant. It's not so much that I
want to syntax-golf it down, but there's just no reason to throw that
type around twice, when what you really WANT to say is "that module over
there is a class, instantiate me one."
So, I was wondering about a synonym, like:
uses Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class $foo;
This would be handy to have for those lengthy setups of all of the
objects you have to have lying around:
uses CGI $cgi :threaded :persistent;
uses Apache $server;
uses MLDBM $shared_data :file('/var/www/cache/cgi-shared-data');
uses IO::CGI $input :cgi($cgi);
uses MIME::Entity $message :input($input);
...etc...
